Work with your Owners Corporation to Solve Parking Problems

Are you part of an Owners Corporation in a strata building and you receive calls from residents who can’t park? You know the calls – from tenants, staff or owners who are irate. Because someone has parked in their parking spot again? Or because someone is overstaying in visitor parking? You know the ones! Do you find it challenging to work with your Owners Corporation to solve parking problems?

So you’re the building or facilities manager in a brand new building – or perhaps even a concierge. There is allocated parking in the basement, but for whatever reason, sometimes other drivers park in your resident’s parking spot. They get pretty angry because they are inconvenienced, and fair enough, especially if they are paying for a dedicated spot!

But the headache that happens when someone else parks in their parking spot! 

Not cool … and wastes so much time and causes stress.

So what are some of the ways you can work with your Owners Corporation to solve parking problems around your building?

Parking pain is frustrating!

It’s really frustrating and upsetting for residents – whether as owners or tenants – when someone else parks in your parking spot. But it’s a building issue – whether a residential apartment building. Or otherwise a commercial office space. And you need to work with the resources who manage and operate the building, to solve it.

To make this process a whole lot easier, we recommend that you engage collaboratively with your Owners Corporation or Body Corporate. You can do this directly through your Building Manager, Strata Manager or various Committee members. We understand this is tricky sometimes, especially where people’s tempers have gotten frayed and personalities are involved. We’ve worked across a broad range of strata buildings, so we know that each building has its own unique challenges (and personalities) and operates differently. 

For example, to install parking bollards in Melbourne may be a very different process from a installing parking bollards in Brisbane, where it’s a different type of strata plan. Frequently the allocation of visitor parking may be very different. Or your by-laws may differ as to whether you allow residents to use visitor parking bays, or not at all? Or whether you even have any visitor parking.

So we are happy to help you navigate this with your particular building circumstances. Having strata tools to to streamline this process is very beneficial. 

For example, we are happy to help with strata tools such as a template letter seeking parking bollard approval from your owners corporation or strata manager. To make it as smooth and stress-free as possible, and to get you the best outcome.

At thatsMYspot, we collaborate with you directly to listen the biggest parking challenges you face in your particular building. We then recommend a tailored solution for your particular building’s needs, and can package it up with installation services, and bulk volume discounts to make it as seamless and stress-free as possible for you.

How to engage with your Owners’ Corporations about parking

The strategy that many of our clients adopt is that we provide flyers to distribute in resident letterbox drops in their buildings. Or if they are electronically savvy, they may prefer to email the information to owners and tenants. Larger buildings will also generally put up a larger flyer or notice in the lobby or a common area giving residents instructions on how to order and organise installation of their parking bollards in Sydney. 

Often the Owners Corporation of a strata buildling will also nominate us as the preferred supplier for parking bollards for a building. Which then makes it so much easier for you. Then you just need to get in touch with us at thats MY spot, to install your parking bollards.
